Nothing wrong with a brick hammer, all I've ever used.

same hear brickys hammer is all ive ever used

[Rowan 308]

used a brick hammer for years , seams to be the same thing to me , just a differant name.

[The one 8,497]

Only difference in a trapping hammer to a brickies hammer is theres a notch in the blade of a trapping hammer for pulling up pegs on snares

[mad4it 695]

something like this one with a notch.

Thats the one and with a fibre glass shaft it should last for ever

My brickies hammer never had that notch but all i did was put the blade between the baling twine between the peg and the knot and pulled and it suited me fine .But to some folk its got to be a wee wooden handled job

I have brought one of these to use first impression is it seems well built will see how i get on with it

Here's a picture of the real thing. Was kindly given to me by Ditch, who used to be on here when this section was, let's say, busier!Lol

 

 

Anyway, I don't know a whole lot about this hammer, apart from the make, which is Brades I believe. It's a good solid hammer, and obviously built to last.

 

Be nice to know more about this brand of hammer,so if anyone has some knowledge, please share, thanks.

 

Where's OTC when ya need him? lol

right i can accept that's the true trapping hammer but why do folk still want them ? for putting wooden snare pegs in you must be better with a rubber or even leather covered mallet so you don't split the pegs ?.

Yea, your probably right when it comes to wooden pegs, but I've always used steel with traps. They tend to take more abuse, in hard ground etc. Also I'm more confident using them, being more assured that a Fox or badger won't bring my trap away, whilst stealing a caught rabbit or squirrel.
